# 10 immuntable laws of security
|
||
1. If a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer, it’s not your computer anymore.
|
||
2. If a bad guy can alter the operating system on your computer, it’s not your computer anymore.
|
||
3. If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it’s not your computer anymore.
|
||
4. If you allow a bad guy to upload programs to your website, it’s not your website any more.
|
||
5. Weak passwords trump strong security.
|
||
6. A computer is only as secure as the administrator is trustworthy.
|
||
7. Encrypted data is only as secure as the decryption key.
|
||
8. An out of date virus scanner is only marginally better than no virus scanner at all.
|
||
9. Absolute anonymity isn’t practical, in real life or on the Web.
|
||
10. Technology is not a panacea.

# Cost of data breach
|
||
about $150 per record. or 3.86 million per US company
|
||
|
||
Costs include:
|
||
- Notifying affected customers
|
||
- Hiring forensic experts
|
||
- Additional call centers
|
||
- Providing credit monitoring services to those affected
|
||
- Internal investigations
|
||
- Lost customers
|
||
- Lost reputation
|
||
- Public relations
|
||
|
||
The costs vary significantly from county to country:
|
||
- Differences in privacy related laws.
|
||
- Costs relating to notifying affected customers vary widely.
|
||
- Some countries have additional penalties for breaches involving medical records and data relating to minors.
|
||
- Some countries/regions experience more destructive attacks.
|
||
|
||
Other interesting points made in the report:
|
||
- Average time to to discover a breach was 207 days.
|
||
- Average time to contain a breach was 73 days.
|
||
- 80% of breaches exposed customer’s PII (Personally Identiable Information).
|
||
- A company has a ~30% chance of having a serious data breach within the next 2 years (based on 2019 report).
|
||
- The per-record cost increases with the number of records breached
|
||
|
||
|
||
# CWE/SANS
|
||
CWE - Common Weakness Enumeration. A community developed list of software security flaw, and details on how to avoid them.
|
||
SANS - (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security) Institute. A research and education institute for security practitioners.
|
||
MITRE - A not-for-profit research organisation that works with the US government.

# Software development is not a core competency
|
||
- A ‘core competency’ is an area that an organisation has extensive skill and experience in.
|
||
- Usually something that contributes directly to the organisation’s revenue stream, and that they consider to be a competitive advantage.
|
||
- Unless the organisation is actually a software development business (or similar) then they probably lack the necessary skills and experience to manage a development project.
|
||
- Often massively underestimating the costs and complexity.
|
||
- Ideally they will contract the development to a reputable software development company.
|
||
- Too often this is not the case.
|
||
|
||
# Layers of abstraction
|
||
1. Transistors
|
||
2. Logic gates
|
||
3. Arithmetic circuits
|
||
4. Arithmetic logic units (ALU)
|
||
5. Instruction set architectures (ISA)
|
||
6. Machine code
|
||
7. Compilers
|
||
8. Programming languages
|
||
9. OS kernels and drivers
|
||
10. System APIs
|
||
11. Programming language APIs
|
||
12. Library APIs
|
||
13. Application APIs
|
||
14. Applications

||
|
||
It is very likely that there are security flaws in lower layers before we even start writing code
|
||
|
||
# Deficiencies in programming languages
|
||
some of these flaws are due to issue with programming languages. e.g.,
|
||
- buffer overflow (1, 3, 17)
|
||
- use after free (7)
|
||
|
||
Ideally the compiler or runtime should be able to detect these and throw an error. Some languages, like C and C++ dont. This is why some experts reccomend that they shuold no longer be used for systems and server programming
|
||
|
||
# Injection flaws
|
||
## SQL injection
|
||
- a user provides malicious data which gets executed due to poorly constructed code.
|
||
|
||
- fix by using prepared statements(java) or equivalent
|
||
- use input sanitation libraries
|
||
|
||
## command injection
|
||
|
||
## cross site scripting |
